Tools
I have had exposure to many different development tools. Used correctly, I think these tools can be extremely useful for personal and professional growth, communication skills, leadership development, and improving team dynamics.
The danger of tools like this is the tendency to pigeon hole people into a certain catagory and not allow them to change or believe they could behave differently. However, I believe that these tools also give people a tremendous opportunity to learn more about themselves. They also give people a language to have healthy respectful dialogue with others. I think people often expect that other people think or should think as they do. This is often not the case and tools like DiSC or True Colors can give people more respect for where other people are coming from and a way to move closer to them for more effective communication.
I have dedicated a specific page to the Highlands Ability Battery, DiSC, True Colors, and StrengthsFinders. In order to illustrate my understanding, I included my own results for each of them.
I also have had experience with Myers Briggs, Strong Interest Inventory, What Color Is Your Parachute, and more.
